Is this just desktops?
Informally, walking through anybody’s house, I can find dozens of linux devices. They’re just white label. Your digital thermostat? Linux. Washing machine? Linux. Wi-Fi access point? Linux. ISP issued CPE? Linux. Switch? Linux
Audio mixing board? Linux …
Intel management engine… minux, so basically Linux.
A lot of those are running either minix, BSD, or some other ultralightweight OS. and those are definitely not Linux. Not even close.
Minix has not been updated in 10 years. It should not be used on anything connected to the internet.
Most “ultralight stripped down OS” will be built from linux these days. Usually Tiny Core Linux or Alpine.
What’s this Minux you keep talking about?
I think you overestimate the money companies are willing to spend on memory and CPU for white line appliances. I actually have friends who have worked in R&D in the industry, cheap bastards wouldn’t splurge for an AmpOp if a BJT could do the job. If something required brains, a cheap small SoC was the way to go, with all its 64-256KB of memory.
How can Greenland have more users than Denmark?
It’s per capita. Not so many people living there, a larger percentage of computer users probably have particular needs.
It’s an “autonomous territory” of Denmark. Think of it like a colony, except the Danes don’t consider it as such because it would be bad PR.
Greenland has close to no cultural ties to Denmark, and Danes tend to be quite racist towards Inuits. The argument is that they’re too poor to be out on their own, but we all know it’s rather the opposite;- the Danes don’t want to let go of natural resources on Greenland. Oh well, I’m derailing.
Bro moving from hungary where tech literacy is low compared to the rest of europe but when people are tech literate they actually know something to sweden where people are absolute tech bros is so painful. I had quite a few friends in hungary who used linux daily, a majority of them not even that deep into it, while here most people dont even know it exists. Every time i open my laptop someone has to fucking point out that “lol you use linux are you a hacker” which gets fucking annoying after a while.
Yeah but isnt just tech literacy, its what you can do with it. You are literate if you can read dailymail but its a much higher literacy level if you can reed shakespear. And with this analogy for some reason hungary has very few people who can read compared to most western countries but has a much larger percentage of people who read shakespear. Idk what the cause is tho.
Data sauce?
Shouldn’t Australia still be there? I thought that patch didn’t drop until 2025
